Glad to hear she's doing better!
Please don't be offended that we linked other threads, gave you terms to use for a search (since you didn't indicate that you knew what a possible diagnosis could be), and referred you to someon by name who could help you. I even remember that at the time I posted, both Glenda and you were online at the same time. A PM from you to her would have likely been answered pretty quickly.
In the year I've been on BYC, I've seen tons & tons of threads on crop problems, which is why I referred you to the BYC search rather than a google search. I kinew the info you needed was here on BYC, pre-existing, and that it would help you more than I could. I always use the search function on the blue toolbar, as I find I get better BYC results than the google search. You may want to try that option as well.
I understand and can sympathize with your frustration, having had sick and injured chickens in the past, too. It's maddening and scary to want to help them immediately and not have posts answered right away. There is so much accumulated knowledge on BYC, though, that a search using the correct terminology will garner you the results you need in 95% of the cases. There's very little that has happened to a chicken that hasn't been recorded on BYC.
I hope your hen's recovery continues well. It sounds like you fixed the crop problem and did a good job of it.
